Bean Art

Today, during our "Table Time", Sister started digging through our craft drawer. After a few minutes, she brought out a paper bag and a bottle of glue. I was helping Brother with his assignment when I noticed. I didn't pay a lot of attention and went back to helping Brother while she busied herself, swirling gobs and gobs of glue onto the sack. She then got a plastic container full of beans and began placing the beans on the glue, one by one.

This was no haphazard, throw-the-beans-on-the-bag-any-old-way production. She was meticulous, making sure every dot of white glue was covered. She even went as far as to color a blue dot on some of the beans, just for an extra punch of color.

A craft drawer huh? That's a great idea! So, you just have all sorts of artsy fartsy stuff in there for the kids to just grab what they want to do a project when they get the crafty feather tickling their butts?I like it. I'm adopting it.Thanks for the inspiration.
